GREENFINGERS CHARITY

Huge thanks to all those fabulous businesses who donated stock at the end of the Glee Birmingham Show this time two weeks ago – and to the Hyve team for helping us facilitate this fundraising opportunity at their event. We’re delighted that collectively all these products raised more than £3,000 for our charity when they were auctioned off by our friends at W&H Peacock Auctioneers & Valuers. These vital funds will make ALL the difference to our work creating magical gardens in children’s hospices across the UK this year and beyond, so THANK YOU! 💚 #togethermakingadifference #turnoldintogold

THANK YOU to all the exhibitors, visitors, volunteers and the organisers of the Glee Birmingham Show for a fantastic few days at the NEC. It was great to be part of Glee, one of the very best shows in Birmingham! A fabulous £2.5k was raised on #FloralThursday AND a lorry filled with donated products left the show, to be auctioned by W & H Peacocks next week. All the money raised will go a very long way to supporting our work, creating magical gardens in children’s hospices. We are forever grateful for your continued support! 💚🌻💚 We look forward to seeing you in your best (or worst) florals again next year! #thankyou #togethermakingadifference #FloralThursday

Thank you. This is such a great way to support our work and help make a difference 🌻

Our supporters often go the extra (s)mile to support our work and today Kate Ebbens who has embarked on a year long daily challenge has done just that. As it’s #FloralThursday, Kate and friends have dusted down their floral Lycra to run 5km…and are heading to the NEC for the final day of the Glee Birmingham Show. They’ll be meeting and greeting exhibitors and visitors and raising funds to help build magical gardens in children’s hospices! If running, or wearing Lycra, are your worst nightmare, you can do the easy bit and help Kate reach her fundraising target by sponsoring her today! #togethermakingadifference #366challenge https://lnkd.in/euXNYedb

Becky Rose you were amazing and your fundraising phenomenal - we really can’t thank you and all those who sponsored you enough for raising such a great amount. It was great to see your lovely family cheering you on too! Looking forward to seeing you at Glee Birmingham Show and to supporting your fundraising efforts when you loop the loop next year! #thankyou #togethermakingadifference

It's #FloralThursday on 12th September 2024 - a great FUNdraiser that helps to raise awareness of our work and at the same time raises funds to help create magical therapeutic gardens in children's hospices. If you'd like to get involved, please get in touch [email protected] #FloralThursday

The 16th July marked another significant milestone for both the Greenfingers Charity and the team at Derian House Children's Hospice as the all-new Sensory Garden was officially opened. Almost three years in the making, the new Greenfingers garden - located at the heart of the hospice - has now been handed to the hospice staff, service users, and their families. A garden space, accessible via the main hospice building and overlooked by children’s bedrooms, now features a mixture of interactive zones linked by a central covered space that allows all service users to spend time outside whatever the weather. More importantly, the vital privacy of those rooms overlooking the garden has been permanently maintained.   As the name suggests the Sensory Garden combines functionality and privacy alongside places of reflection, fun and memorial. Imaginative and subdued lighting schemes have also been adopted to create interest after dark, whilst new seating areas have been introduced to provide more pockets of quiet and privacy for everyone from young people to family and staff. Specific areas have been created with plants to heighten the senses, offering a truly immersive experience for the children.

We are fortunate to have a fabulous team of loyal volunteer Ambassadors who support our work in many different ways. Huge thanks to our newest Ambassador, Jessica Dabell, Meadow View Stone's Brand Manager, who recently gave her time to look after the GREENFINGERS CHARITY stand at The National Plant Show. Speaking about her new role, Jessica said: “I am delighted and honoured to have been selected as an ambassador for The Greenfingers Charity. Meadow View Stone are avid supporters of this fantastic cause and my appointment further strengthens our great working relationship and commitment to this wonderful charity. Through my role as an ambassador, I am looking forward to raising greater awareness, and committing fully into the many fundraising initiatives undertaken by Greenfingers.” Jess is also on the organising Committee for The Greenfingers Floral Ball, an event which promises to be a fabulous celebratory occasion at the stunning Coombe Abbey Hotel in Coventry, on 26th June next year. #togethermakingadifference #charitysupport
